Easter

Easter Sunday was a lovely, quiet day here. I went to the Canterbury Cathedral for one of their evening services, and it was really nice. There were only about 80 people at the service I went to, but judging by what the priest said, the morning service was very, very crowded (as I expected). It was very low-key, but I did get to hear the organ play!

The night before I had gone to some friends' house to do a little egg-painting. It was a little different than the egg-dyeing as I'm used to it. They boiled the eggs in colored water to dye the shells, then used acrylic paints to paint all over them. I managed to paint one really cute egg, and one really ugly egg. I figure they even out. We didn't end up eating any of the eggs that night, so I can only wonder if the eggs still tasted okay with all that paint potentially seeping through the shells.

Llama llama llama llama!

Well, it's the last week of the spring term. Time has really flown by! All the students around Parkwood seem to be buckling down for last-minute papers and projects, and everyone's really excited that the Easter holiday is right around the corner.

In some interesting news, I went to Bigbury a couple weeks ago with my Foundations of Britain class. Bigbury was a Kentish hillfort from the Iron Age (middle of the first millennium BC), but there's not really much left now except mounds of earth that have been pretty worn down. It was a lovely hike in the woods, though, and we even saw a llama! Apparently it's a nature preserve there now, and there are four llamas that roam the woods. It was a rather strange surprise, but he was pretty adorable!

I have to keep this short because I have to go make a carrot cake for the flat dinner tonight. Yum yum!
